Is a double mattress the right size for you?

At approximately 138cm wide by 188cm long, a standard Australian double sits between a king single and queen in overall size. For one person, the extra width can make a big difference compared with sleeping on a single. A double can also make a bedroom feel more grown-up when a child or teenager is ready to move on from their first bed. A double can sleep two people too, which is why it's commonly used in guest bedrooms and smaller homes. 

Compare different types of double bed mattress

Our double mattresses come in a range of different constructions to suit your needs. Pocket spring mattresses use individually wrapped springs that respond independently across the mattress. Memory foam designs have a more contouring feel, while hybrid mattresses combine springs with foam or other comfort layers. You'll also find different surface and comfort features across the range. Rather than choosing based on mattress type alone, compare the complete construction, firmness and thickness of each option to narrow down what suits you.

Choosing the right mattress firmness

Mattress firmness comes down to personal preference, but your usual sleeping position can be a useful place to start. Side sleepers often prefer enough cushioning to accommodate the shoulders and hips, while back and stomach sleepers may look for a more stable surface. If you're buying a double mattress for two people, consider both sleepers' preferences. 

Will a double mattress fit your bed frame?

If you're replacing an existing mattress, check the internal dimensions of your bed frame before ordering. Australian double mattresses are generally around 138cm by 188cm. It's also a good time to inspect the base or slats. Check that they're secure and in good condition, and review any base requirements listed for the mattress you're considering. Need to replace both? Browse our double bed frames to put together a new setup.

Consider mattress thickness too

Mattress thickness doesn't tell you how firm or supportive a mattress will feel, but it can affect the overall height of your bed. A deeper mattress on a taller frame can make it easier or harder to get in and out of bed depending on your height and preferences. It can also change how the mattress lines up with an existing headboard and bedside tables. Check the mattress depth in the individual product specifications and remember that deeper mattresses may require deep-wall fitted sheets.

Complete your double bed set up

Once you've chosen your mattress, add a mattress protector to help protect it from spills, moisture and everyday wear. You can also complete your setup with double bed linen, pillows and bedding, or replace your existing frame if it's no longer providing a suitable base for the mattress.

Double Bed Mattress FAQ

 

What size is a double bed mattress in Australia?

A standard Australian double mattress measures approximately 138cm wide by 188cm long. The bed frame itself will usually be larger, so check the full frame dimensions when working out how much bedroom space you'll need.

Can two adults sleep on a double mattress?

Yes, a double mattress can accommodate two adults. However, it provides less sleeping width per person than a queen or king mattress, so couples who have enough bedroom space may prefer to compare larger sizes.

What is the difference between a double and queen mattress?

A double mattress is approximately 138cm wide by 188cm long, while a standard Australian queen is approximately 153cm wide by 203cm long. A queen provides extra width and length, while a double takes up less floor space and can be better suited to smaller bedrooms.

What type of double mattress should I choose?

That depends on the feel you prefer. Pocket spring mattresses use individually wrapped springs, foam mattresses tend to provide a more contouring feel, and hybrid mattresses combine springs with foam or other comfort layers. Compare the construction and firmness of individual mattresses before choosing.

How often should you replace a double mattress?

The lifespan of your double mattress will depend on a few things. From its construction, to how you care for it, each mattress will wear differently. Signs that it may be time for a new mattress include visible sagging or damage, persistent discomfort or a noticeable decline in how well the mattress supports you.
